  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
today to recognize the life of Colonel Albert W. ``Bill'' Jenrette who 
passed away on February 27th.
  Colonel Jenrette was born on November 6, 1937 in Conway, SC. He 
attended the Citadel, and upon graduation, he became a career Army 
officer.
  While he was stationed in Germany for the first time, Colonel 
Jenrette married Ursula Klauer. Together they had two children, 
Jennifer and Kevin. Tragically, Kevin was killed in combat in 
Afghanistan in 2009.
  Colonel Jenrette served two tours in Vietnam. After his second tour, 
he became the JROTC Senior Army Instructor at Lyman ward Military 
Academy in Camp Hill, Alabama.
  Colonel Jenrette received the Legion of Merit and the Bronze Star.
  After retiring from the Army, Colonel Jenrette returned to Lyman Ward 
Academy as Commandant of Cadets. In 2007, after a brief stint in the 
private sector, he returned to Lyman Ward as President. Upon his 
retirement as President, Colonel Jenrette became Chairman of the Board 
of Trustees and Chancellor of the Academy at Lyman Ward.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the life and achievements 
of Colonel Bill Jenrette.
